Notes
  • Significance: The Passaic River Bridge is significant as a sophisticated example of an open spandrel arch, reinforced concrete highway bridge built during the tenure of Morris Goodkind, chief bridge engineer for the New Jersey State Highway Department from 1925 to 1955. Goodkind emphasized the integration of architecture and aesthetics in bridge design and received awards from the American Society of Civil Engineers and the American Institute of Steel Construction for his designs. The bridge is one of approximately ten open spandrel arch, reinforced concrete highway bridges designed and built by the New Jersey State Highway Department between 1929 and 1939. The bridge accommodated the expansion of the state highway system west of New York City in the 1930s. Originally designated N.J. Route 6, this road is currently U.S. Route 46. The New Jersey State Historic Preservation Officer determined the Passaic River Bridge eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
